On 3 August, a Su-34 fighter jet was destroyed in a strike by the Defence Forces on the Russian military airfield Morozovsk. Two other aircraft of the same type were probably damaged, as evidenced by craters from the explosions.
This was reported by the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine. They added that the strike completely destroyed the Russian aviation weapons depot.
"The enemy's aviation weapons depot was completely destroyed - large areas of scorched earth can be seen on the territory of the airfield and around it from the secondary detonation of Russian ammunition," the statement said.
In addition, four technical buildings and two hangars at the Morozovsk airbase, located 265 kilometres from the front line, also sustained damage clearly visible from space.
